The plant arrived on time and was very healthy. It was exactly what I expected. I definitely will order more plants from this seller !!! As for a review of this plant: This plant will be one that you will grow personally attached to. It produces beautiful 1/2 " or smaller red blossoms as you can see in the picture. The stem will start to get a bark-like look and, to me, looks like a tiny fruit tree with blossoms after it grows a while. Of course, there are little sharp thorns on the limbs, thus the name of the plant. The ones I've seen don't grow tall but rather spread out like a fruit tree would and they get around 2-2 1/2 feet tall. If you get one, you will love it.
